NEW KIWI SDR IN FINLAND
Most MEDXR readers will be familiar with online remote radio and SDR facilities through KiwiSDR, WebSDR, GlobalTuners and the like. On the SDR.Hu website there is a huge array of online receivers spread across the globe. But here's a new one....and it's really very good!Jari OH6BG tells me that he has just opened up his new web-based KiwiSDR at Maalahti, Finland. The site is close to the sea at just 4 m ASL. The antenna system currently boasts a Hy-Gain AV-640 multiband (40M/30M/20M/17M/15M/12M/10M/6M) vertical right next to the sea, plus three stacked Hy-Gain TH7DX tribanders (20M/15M/10M) at a 42-meter-tall fully rotatable tower, plus a 10-dB low-noise-figure preamp by Clifton Laboratories.
Jari writes: "Please note that this is a high-performance antenna system which means that, especially at local sunset, the kiwi will often produce spurious signals as the signals somewhere on the HF bands can exceed or be close to S9+60 dB! Currently, we are offering an 8-channel kiwi with 2 full-coverage waterfall displays and 6 frequency-specific waterfalls. Two of the channels are still password-protected but they will be opened soon."
Please note that this is also a working contest-level amateur radio station. There may be occasions when this online SDR is unavailable during transmission times. I have tried out this remote receiver on a number of occasions over the past three weeks and I've found it to be very sensitive - it works very well and picks up lots of interesting global DX signals!! You can try out this fantastic receiver at http://oh6bg.ddns.net:8073/ Enjoy! And if you find it useful, don't forget to give it a vote at the SDR.Hu website.
My thanks to Jari for making this web receiver available to public use....and for the wonderful photos of his antenna system in use with this receiver.
73 and good DX to you all,
